Steve Marriott, who lives in the town, said: "I was there just as the forensic officers were leaving. There was a big area they had cordoned off around the scene, including the area around the Co-op in Bridge Street.

"I heard rumours that a man had been mugged and had been stabbed three times.

"It's normally a very quiet part of the town and I've certainly never heard of any stabbings in that area before now."
